The Ventura Freeway is a freeway in southern California, United States, that runs from the Santa Barbara/Ventura county line[1] to Pasadena in Los Angeles County. It is the principal east–west route (designated north–south) through Ventura County and in the southern San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles County. From the Santa Barbara County line to its intersection with the Hollywood Freeway in the southeastern San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles (the Hollywood Split), it is signed as U.S. Route 101 (US 101), which was built in the late 1950s and opened on April 5, 1960.[3] The segments from the Santa Barbara County line to Sea Cliff, and from Solimar Beach to Oxnard, are also concurrent with State Route 1 (SR 1), although no signs mention SR 1 there. East of the Hollywood Freeway intersection, the Ventura Freeway is signed as State Route 134 (SR 134), which was built by 1971.
Before the construction of a new alignment in 1971, the portion east of the Golden State Freeway was known as the Colorado Freeway after nearby Colorado Boulevard, a historic thoroughfare in Pasadena and northeastern Los Angeles.
